Spread spectrum for switch mode power supplies

A switch mode power supply may utilize a switching signal to control one or more power switches in the switch mode power supply. A switch mode power supply controller may generate and/or control this switching signal. The controller may reduce the peak spectral noise of the switch mode power supply...

Summary:A switch mode power supply may utilize a switching signal to control one or more power switches in the switch mode power supply. A switch mode power supply controller may generate and/or control this switching signal. The controller may reduce the peak spectral noise of the switch mode power supply by varying the instantaneous switching frequency at a constant slew rate magnitude that changes sign at random times. The instantaneous switching frequency may be controlled by a signal that is generated by integrating a random bit stream. The stream may repeat at a sub-audio frequency. The integrator may be lossy, so that the output does not wonder off to an arbitrary value. The frequency modulation signal may be filtered by a low pass filter.
